Last week, we mulched the garlic. We took those beautiful, sunny, warm days and got out in the field. We put hay down thick in hopes that the ribbon thick nose of the garlic leaves will push through, but not the weeds. Hay is not the best option for mulching because of all the seeds in it but sometimes you work with what you've got. My hope is that the hay will keep the keep down the weeds that it plants, at least for this season. While we mulched, we saw lots of root growth, not too many cloves pushed up in the soil by ground freeze and thaw (heaving), and some leaf growth but not too much. I have a good feeling about the garlic this year.
And the notorious we? Tony, an applicant for the coming season helped out! He did an excellent job, was a pleasure to work with, and is a candidate for a position on the farm. That's right folks, we are hiring and have full-time, part-time, workshare positions available! Visit our website here for more information. Please feel free to post our job listing anywhere you think is relevant and if you think of a good place to hang a flyer, let us know and we will get on there.
In the meantime, we still have our slew of roots, tasty squash (probably the last week) and fabulous cabbage forever! We will be at both markets this week so come on out and see us!
All the best!
